Dylan and Mom
Like Emily said, we really are lucky to have great mothers. They support both of us in all that we want to do and I don't think that we thank them enough. My mom has always been a great example to me. She's worked hard and has succeeded in life. As Em already wrote, my mom taught me to love reading. There were many, many nights growing up where she would have to come and tell me to go to sleep because I'd stay up reading. She's always supported me in whatever it was I did. She came to almost every one of my football games in high school (even the ones away). She taught me to love music. We both share really eclectic tastes (from classical to country - and pretty much everything in between.) Also, I have a wonderful mother-in-law. She cares so much about her kids, sometimes she even goes into what I call "Momma Bear" mode - (one example: when Em and I were first married, Em had to go to the ER. The doctor there told us that he felt that Em was faking being sick because they couldn't see anything wrong. Man, I will never forget Em's mom telling that doctor what's up.) She supports us in what we want to do. She even supported me when I decided that I wanted to be a teacher and earn the big bucks! I love you both very much! Happy Mother's Day
